Dawan approached the house haltingly. She heard the familiar sounds of
her mother singing tunelessly to the baby, and (of chickens clucking as they
pecked the dirt underneath the stilts of the house). Her grandmother was sitting
on a tree stump, tired and dignified looking, sprinkling millet for the chicken and
watching Dawan’s father repair the chicken coop.
“Has Kwai been home yet, Grandma?” Dawan asked, carefully putting
down her school books on a low workbench.
